Back to tha jokez in today’s strip, huh? Honestly, I’ll take it over the substantial ideas and awards panhandling we will undoubtedly return to shortly.

Still, if this is Wally’s best material, I can see why Adeela is not especially comfortable around him. And on another note, it is nice to see a food and beverage business in this strip other than Montoni’s.

I don’t know why Batiuk keeps writing “Person A tells a ‘joke’, Person B doesn’t find it funny, Person A tells them it was a ‘joke'” so much. I mean, it’s probably just “write what you know”, but it’s still weird.

Aren’t they going to the library to work on the unspecified project? What library allows food? I’ll go with the idea that it might be permitted in a specified area but not around the reference materials or the computers.

I think that Batiuk was going for reserved and uncomfortable with Adeela…but she’s actually coming across as stoned if not brain damaged. Also…tons of stimulants sound like a great diet for someone suffering an anxiety disorder.

It’s probably the reaction most Westviewians get when they leave the “friendly confines” and interact with normal folks. “Answer me with a pun one more time m*therf*cker, I dare you”. This new Adeela character is just BURSTING with personality thus far, eh?
